THE EARLIEST RECORDS OF SAINT JAMES EPISCOPAL
CHURCH, GREAT BARRINGTON, HASSACHUSETTS.
With Brief Notes of the Town, Church, and First Kector.
By L. Hasbrouck von Sahler.
In May, 1722, one hundred and seventy-seven inhabitants
of Hampshire County petitioned to the General Court of
Massachusetts for two tracts of land on the Housatonic river,
and in June the Upper and Lower Housatonic Townships,
each seven miles square, with the Connecticut line for the
southern boundary, Avas granted. For the purpose of pur-
chasing from the Indians, .dividing the tracts, admitting set-
tlers, and so forth, a committee consisting of John Stoddard
and Henry Dwight, of Northampton, Luke Hitchcock, of
Springfield, John Ashley, of Westfield, and Samuel Porter, of
Hadley, Avas appointed, and later Capt. Ebenezer Pomeroy
was added. They employed Conraet Borghghardt (Burghardt^,
a prominent citizen of Kinderhook, New York, and fur dealer
along the New England Path, to negotiate with Indians,
with whom he was friendly, and with Avhose language and
customs he was familiar, and to perform other important duties.
The Indian deed, given at Westfield in April, 1724, convey,
ed a .territory that later was the whole of Sheffield, Great
Barrington, Mount Washington and Egremont, the greater
part of Alford, and large parts of Stockbridge, West Stock-
bridge and Lee, but the two townships only included the pres.
ent towns of Sheffield and Great Barrington, a large part of
Stockbridge, West Stockbridge and Lee, and a small part of
Alford. A tract south of the present Great Barrington line,
called Skatehook, was reserved by the Indians.
In January, 1733, the Lower Township, of five divisions,
was incorporated as the town of Sheffield, and in March, 1743,
\:\M) :\ ''.': C: : : ".: :.: *:'

the two northern portions were added to the Upper Township,
and formed into the Upper, or North Parish of Sheffield, and
included in that town. In June, 1761, the Upper Parish was
incorporated as the town of Great Barrington. Barrington for
John Shute, Viscount Barrington of Ardglass in Ireland, a
brother of Samuel Shute, Governor of Massachusetts, and
Great, to distinguish it from Barrington, Rhode Island, as the
line between Massachusetts and Rhode Island had not been
settled and Barrington w^as near the supposed line.
The first known historical fact connected Avith what is now
Great Barrington was the victorious attack of Maj. John TaL
cott, with soldiers and Indians of Connecticut, on a Ijody of
fleeing Indians, at Hooestennuc, in 1676, during King Philip's
War. Shortly after Maj. Talcott reached Westfield, their
trail, tending toward the Hudson river, was discovered and
pursued. At an early date there was an Indian settlement
with a "Great Wigwam" there and possibly there was at that
time. In 1694 the Rev. Benjamin Wadsworth of Boston, later
President of Harvard College, accompanied the commis-
sioners of Massachusetts and Connecticut, who went to Albany
for a treaty with the Commissioners of Rhode Island, New
York and New Jersey and the "Five Nations," and in his
journal, under date of August 10th, said: "Took up our lodg-
ings about sundown in ye woods, at a place called Onsetonuck,
formerly inhabited by Indians. (Some think that Maj. Talcot's
attack on the fleeing Indians frightened the Indian settlers
away. )
In 1734 the famous Stockbridge Indian School was started
at Great Barrington, but was removed to Stockbridge in 1736,
after the General Court had taken 9, 240 acres from the Upper
Township for the formation of Indian Town, later called Stock-
bridge. At that time the Indians relinquished their lands in
the Lower Township. In January, 1742, the General Court
granted limited parish privileges to the Upper Township, and
in March the proprietors held their first meeting at Daniel
154 RECORDS OF SAINT JAMES EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
Nash's house, near the Great Bridge. Ephraim Williams, of
Stockbridge, was chosen moderator, and David IngersoU,
clerk. It was then decided to build a meetinghouse on the
east side of the river, near the Great Bridge, and Conraet
Boro-ho-hardt, David IngersoU, Joseph Pixley, Daniel Nash and
Josei)h Noble were chosen a committee to decide on a site,
take charge of the building, and see that all was completed.
Daniel Nash, John Williams and David IngersoU were chosen
assessors to raise the necessary amount; John Pixley and
Joshua Root were chosen collectors, and Moses IngersoU, treas-
urer. Conraet Borghghardt, Daniel Nash and David IngersoU
were appointed a committee to take charge of the Minister's
Right of Land, and Joseph Noble, John Pixley and David
IngersoU, a committee to provide some suitable person to
preach. David IngersoU gave the land.
The meeting-house was ready for occupancy the next fall,
although not fully completed for many years. It was a plain,
two-story building, unpainted, about thirty-five by forty-five
feet, with galleries. In March, 1746, Isaac van Deusen, John
Williams and Josiah Phelps, Jun. , were appointed to call the
old "committee to build the meeting-house," and settle their
accounts. The pews for the landed-gentry, or proprietors,
were sold at auction in April, 1746. The first regular pastor
was the Rev. Samuel Hopkins, afterwards widely known as a
theologist, and it was his first charge. His first sermon was
preached in July, 1743; in September he was asked to settle,
and in December he was ordained, with the following ministers
present: — Rev. Samuel Hopkins, of West Springfield, his
uncle; Rev. John BaUentine. of Westfield; Rev. Jonathan
Judd, of Northampton, his cousin; Rev. Jonathan Hubbard,
of Sheffield, and Rev, John Sergeant, of Stockbridge. At this
service five persons were admitted to membership. The Rev.
Mr. Hopkins for many years lived peaceably with his parish-
ioners, although his private journal shows that he did not
come to them with the interested feeling that he should.

The Dutch settlers from New York State were of promiuent
families there, were the wealthiest of the settlers, and occupied
a prominent position among them — in fact, Conraet Borgh-
ffhardt, who was the wealthiest and most influential of the set-
tiers, has been called the "Founder of the Housatonic Colony."
After a time the Dutch, who, of course, had helped to build
the meeting-house, and who were helping to support the min-
ister, asked to have Dutch preaching in the meeting-house,
occasionally, on week-days, and at their own expense, but the
Rev. Mr. Hopkins, showing a spirit of intolerance not expect-
ed in a christian, assured them that there should never be any
Dutch preaching there. Coming from New York State, where
the Dutch were such a power, v/here Dutch influences made a
decided mark, and where they had afliliated with the English
to (juite an extent, their feelings were outraged, and they
doubted the sincerity of the pastor. Their position was not
that of recent emigrants, for the family of one of the settlers,
Isaac van Deusen, "the first" of the New England branch, had
lived in New York State for over a hundred years, and his
great grandfather, Pieter Abraham sen van Deusen, had been
one of the most prominent men officially in New Amsterdam.
All things considered the Dutch decided to absent themselves
from the Rev. Mr. Hopkins' preaching, which angered him
into threatening the titheing-men from the pulpit.
And consequently they entered a complaint with the magis-
trate. Conraet Borghghardt had recently died, but his son-
in-law, Isaac van Deusen, who was one of the offenders, was a
man whose wealth, personality, friends and good deeds, as
well as his family, commanded respect. Three of his brothers-
in-law, Peter, John and Garret Burghardt, were also involved.
Of course the magistrate was powerless to do anything but
fine them, or commit them to the stocks. Isaac van Deusen
and one or two others then went to a personal friend of the
former, Hon. Timothy AYoodbridge, of Stockbridge, (first
school-master to the Indians) for his advice, which was to go
156 RECORD OF SAINT JAMES EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
to the stocks as a quicker and surer means of victory, and the
day of intended humiliation was turned into one of rejoicino-,
with Judge AVoodbridge present as their friend and legal
protector.
After this they performed their legal attendance at meet-
ings, until one Sunday Dr. Hopkins made during his sermon
an assertion, in consequence of the before mentioned trouble,
which Mr. Van Deusen could and would not overlook, and so
he decided to see what could be done for religious liberty in
the town. At first they had Dutch preachers from New York
State, although they were still taxed for Congregational meet-
ings. However, finally they were successful ;in throwing off
the yoke. Uniting with some of the Episcopal English set-
tlers, they called an Episcopal minister, the Rev. Solomon
Palmer, a missionary in western Connecticut, who came and
preached and performed other clerical duties in 1761-2, but
his successor, in September, 1761, the Kev. Thomas Davies,
formed the congregation into a church September 21, 1762,
and they chose John Westover to read prayers in the minister's
absence.

THE EARLIEST RECORDS OF SAINT JAHES EPISCOPAL
CHURCH, GREAT BARRINQTON, HASSACHUSETTS.
With Brief Notes of the Town, Church, and First Rector.
By L. Hasbrouck von Sahler.
(Continued from page 156.)
In 1763 John Burghardt, son of Conraet Borghghardt, gave
a piece of land, opposite the family mansion, for a church,
and Isaac van Deusen, the first, and his six sons, the Burgh-
ardts, John Williams, David Ingersoll, Robert Noble, all
prominent men, and others, gave very generously for a church
edifice. John Burghardt, John Williams and Samuel Lee
were chosen a building committee. It was erected, in the
spring and summer of 1764, and was first opened ' for public
worship on Christmas Day, when there was a large congrega-
tion, and the communion and baptism were administered. It
was forty by fifty feet, while the chancel and porch extension
increased the depth to seventy-one feet. The steeple, one hun-
dred and ten feet high, was surmounted by a gilded, copper
cock, and the first public bell in the region hung in the belfry.
The small panes of glass for the large Gothic windows and
the especially large and projecting chancel window, were a
gift from an English gentleman. Above the pulpit there was
a -sounding board. Pews were built by the "gentry" at their
own expense. It was some years before all was completed.
The Rev. Mr. Davies said that it was "a very elegant and
large church, built at great expense." At first it was called
Christ Church, but later it was named for St. James. This
edifice ^continued in use until 1833, when a stone one was
erected in the centre of the village, and this was sold when
the present handsome stone church was built in 1857.

The first settled rector was the Rev. Gideon Bostwick, who
was born in New Milford, Connecticut, in 1742, and was
graduated from Yale in 1762. He lived in Great Barrington
as early as 1764, and shortly became Lay-reader and com-
menced ministerial studies. In 1769 he went to England,
when he was ordained a deacon and a priest by the Bishop of
London, and returned to Great Barrington in 1770, when he
became a missionary of the Society for Propagating the Gos-
pel in Foreign Parts, with Great Barrington for the head.
His church records which follow this prefatory and conse-
quently brief sketch, are most interesting and far-spreading,
and I doubt if there is a more valuable little volume of such a
nature in this country. It is said that in his ministry of
twenty-three years that he baptized 2274 children and 81
adults, married 127 couples, and buried 84 persons. He per-
formed religious duties at Great Barrington, Lanesboro,
Williamstown, Sandisfield, Sheffield, Stockbridge, West Stock-
bridge, Tyringham, Egremont, Partridgefield (now Peru),
Lenox, New Ashford, Hartwood (now Washington), Alford,
Adams, Taconick Mountain (now Mount- .Washington), New
Marlboro, Pittsfield, Bethlehem (now a part of Otis), and Lee,
all in Massachusetts; Nobletown (now Hillsdale), New Con-
cord, New Canaan, Spencertown. Stephentown, Burnetfield,
New Lebanon, Stone Arabia (in Palatine), Kings District,
Albany, Kinderhook, Hudson, Claverack, CatskiU, Ballstown,
Pine Plains, and Kingsbury, all in New York; Canaan, Litch-
field, New Milford, Norfolk, Cornwall, and Salisbury, all in
Connecticut; and Manchester, Arlington, Tinmouth, Paulet,
and Bennington, all in Vermont. In those days, the constant
travelling from place to place, with his parochial duties at
Great Barrington, could not have been other than very wearing.
Mr. Bostwick wrote in one of his letters: "My work obliges
me to ride a vast deal (more, perhaps, by consideraljle than
any one missionary in America). But I thank God that
through the strength of a good constitution and the pleasing
RECORD OF SAINT JAMES EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 171
prospect of being the iustrument of some good to ray fellow
creatures, I am enabled cheerfully to perform it." I regret
that this brief sketch cannot tell more of the results of the
labors of this most remarkable man.
Mr. Bostwick officiated for the last time in St. James
Church, June 2nd, 1793, and on the 4th he attended the
Diocesan Convention of Connecticut, at Middletown, where he
presented to Bishop Seabury Daniel Burhans, a candidate for
Holy Orders, who became a noted clergyman. At New Mil-
ford, on the homeward journey, he was taken sick, and died
on the 13th, and was buried at Great Barrington. Of him
Isaac van Deusen, the third, said, in his history of St, James
Church, written in 1829: — "He is said to have been a faithful
and pious minister, indefatigable in his labors, devout in his
religious affections, humane and benevolent in his feelings, of
cheerful, facetious humor, plain, courteous and affable in his
manners, and was much endeared to his people." Mr. Bost-
wick married previous to his ordination journey Gesie, daugh-
ter of John Burghardt, one of the founders of the church,
and grand-daughter of Conraet Borghghardt, the founder of
the Housatonic Colony.
The following inscriptions were copied from the Bostwick
monument in the Mahaiwe cemetery:
"To the memory of the Rev. Gideon Bostwick, A. M., later
Rector of St. James Church, Great Barrington, who died at
New Milford, June 13, 1793, aged 50 years. His remains
were removed and placed here February 9, 1794."
"This monument is erected as a testimonial of respect, affec-
tion and gratitude for the virtues and the services of the man
whose name it bears, by an association of his sorrowing friends,
in the year 1795."
172 RECORDS OF SAINT JAMES EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
"The sculptured stone in vain essays
Thy worth, dear Bostwick, to impart,
An epitapth of noble praise
Is written on the feeling heart.
Yet, Oh! accept this marble's aid
Thy virtues memory to save,
For soon that record must be laid
Beside thee in the silent grave.'"
"His amiable wife, Mrs. Gesie Bostwick, who died May 16,
1787, aged 39 years, lies buried at his side, not without a fair
portion of the sentiment which produced this tribute. "
